Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0044] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the toilet 100 of this embodiment includes a water tank A and a toilet bowl B connected by pipes, and a foaming module C disposed in the water tank A. The toilet 100 in this embodiment is a squat toilet, but it can also be a sit-down toilet, and is not limited here.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the foaming module C is concealed within the water tank A of the toilet 100 and is used to generate foam for delivery to the toilet bowl B. The toilet 100 of this embodiment includes a controller (not shown) and a trigger switch K electrically connected to the controller and the foaming module C. The user can control the foaming module C to open and close via the trigger switch K. The trigger switch K can be a sensor switch or a physical button switch.

[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the foaming module C includes a storage box 1, a mounting base 2, and a foaming assembly 3. The storage box 1 has a liquid storage chamber 101 for storing the foaming solution; the mounting base 2 is assembled with the storage box 1 and has a mounting cavity 201 (see figure). Figure 8 (Note); The foaming component 3 is installed in the mounting cavity 201 of the mounting base 2. The foaming component 3 is configured to be installed in the mounting base 201 and then assembled together with the mounting base 2 in the storage box 1.

[0047] The foaming module C of this embodiment of the utility model is provided with a mounting base 2 for installing the foaming component 3. The mounting base 2 can assemble the foaming component 3 together with the storage box 1, achieving modularity, good integrity, and strong compatibility. In this embodiment, the storage box 1 and the mounting base 2 are connected by multiple connectors T, which can be connecting screws or connecting bolts, etc.

[0048] In addition, the foaming module C can be installed concealed inside the water tank A of the toilet 100 without taking up additional space, which solves the problems of aesthetic impact and dirt accumulation caused by external accessories, and significantly improves the user's freedom of decoration layout.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, foaming component 3 (refer to...) Figure 4 The area highlighted by the dashed line includes a water pump 31, a liquid pump 32, and a mixing container 33. The input of the water pump 31 is connected to a water source (in this embodiment, the water source is provided by water tank A), and its output is connected to the input of the mixing container 33. The input of the liquid pump 31 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 101, and its output is connected to the input of the mixing container 33. The water pump 31 is configured to transport water from water tank 1 to the mixing container 33 to mix with the foaming solution. The foaming solution in the mixing container 33 is premixed by the liquid pump 32 before being input.

[0050] During operation, after the water pump 31 starts, it draws water into the mixing container 33 to mix with the foaming solution inside. Simultaneously, the mixture is extruded from the mixer 33 for foaming. After foaming, the liquid pump 31 draws liquid for pre-mixing, ready for a second mixing during the next foaming cycle. By using the liquid pump 32 for pre-mixing, and then using the liquid pump 31 for a second mixing during foaming, sufficient mixing and uniform foaming effect are ensured. Furthermore, the use of the liquid pump 32 to draw the foaming solution ensures a stable usage rate.

[0051] The mixer 33 has a mixing chamber, a water inlet chamber, and a mixed liquid outlet chamber (not shown). When mixing is started, the mixing chamber already contains liquid. After the liquid pump 32 draws the foaming solution in, it diffuses and mixes naturally. After the water pump 31 also starts working and draws water into the water inlet chamber, the water is divided into two paths through a small hole and an open slot. One path enters the mixing chamber for mixing, and the other path is output to the mixed liquid outlet chamber. In this process, two mixing processes are achieved.

[0052] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the storage box 1 has a first open receiving cavity 102 on one side, which is isolated from the liquid storage cavity 101, and the mounting base 2 has a second open receiving cavity 202 on one side (see Figure 1). Figure 7 (Note: The foaming component 3 is arranged in the second open receiving cavity 202. The first open receiving cavity 102 and the second open receiving cavity 202 are sealed together to form the mounting cavity 201. A sealing gasket 4 is provided at the joint between the first open receiving cavity 102 and the second open receiving cavity 202.)

[0053] This embodiment of the utility model enables the installation of the foaming component 3 by assembling the storage box 1 and the first open receiving cavity 102 and the second open receiving cavity 202 of the mounting base 2. At the same time, a sealing gasket 4 is set at the splice to improve the sealing performance and effectively prevent water from entering.

[0054] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the foaming module 3 also includes a conduit 5 located at the bottom of the storage box 1 for discharging foam. One end of the conduit 5 is detachably screwed onto the storage box 1, and the other end is detachably installed onto the water tank A. In this embodiment, the storage box 1 has a connector 10 at its bottom, and the conduit 5 is detachably installed onto the connector 10. The conduit 5 also has a support plate 50 for supporting the storage box 1, facilitating the installation and positioning of the storage box 1. The conduit 5 is installed onto the water tank A via a nut 52 and a sealing gasket 53 at the bottom of the conduit 5.

[0055] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the screw-on portion of the conduit 5 and the storage box 1 is provided with a locking structure that engages with each other. The locking structure includes a first latch 11 and a second latch 51 respectively located on the connector 10 and the conduit 5. When the conduit 5 is screwed into place with the connector 10, the first latch 11 and the second latch 51 engage to limit the movement and prevent the conduit 5 from loosening or falling off.

[0056] This embodiment of the invention provides a quick and convenient way to assemble the conduit 5 and the storage box 1, while also facilitating the installation of the foaming module C in the water tank A. The conduit 5 and the storage box 1 are locked together using a snap-fit ​​structure to prevent them from loosening.

[0057] like Figure 10 As shown, the foaming module C also includes a support tube 6 disposed in the liquid storage chamber 101. One end of the support tube 6 extends to the top of the liquid storage chamber 101, and the other end extends into the conduit 5. The support tube 6 is configured to allow the mixed liquid output pipe 83 connected to the mixing container 33 to pass through from the top and guide the mixed liquid output pipe 83 to the conduit 5, and then guide it to a designated position, such as to the bottom of the water tank A to connect to the foaming head or other devices. The body of the support tube 6 is provided with a support seat 60 that supports the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 101 and seals and isolates the liquid storage chamber 101 from the conduit 5.

[0058] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the foaming module 3 also includes a top cover 7 that fits with the top of the support tube 6. The top cover 7 has a buckle 71 and a locking arm 72 on each side. The top of the side wall of the storage box 1 has a locking groove 11 and a locking interface 12 that respectively engage with the buckle 71 and the locking arm 72 for easy disassembly and assembly of the top cover 7. The top of the support tube 6 has a notch 60, and the top cover 7 has an inlet 73 corresponding to the notch 60. The inlet 73 and the notch 60 allow the mixture output tube 83 to pass through.

[0059] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the mounting base 2 is provided with a water inlet connector 21, a liquid inlet connector 22, and a mixture connector 23. The input end of the water pump 31 is connected to the inner end of the water inlet connector 21, the input end of the liquid pump 32 is connected to the liquid inlet connector 22, and the output end of the mixing container 33 is connected to the mixture connector 23.
